Request an AppointmentWhat Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy uses focused energy waves that pass through the affected area. Shockwaves are administered in one of two ways: radial shockwave therapy delivers radial waves that spread within a targeted area of tissue, while focused shockwave therapy penetrates deeper into individual cells to stimulate change. Depending on your specific condition and responsiveness, a series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
What Can Shockwave Therapy Treat?
Shockwave therapy may be used to treat a number of soft tissue conditions, including:
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow
- Plantar fasciitis
These conditions can limit range of motion and create stiffness. Patients with conditions resulting from muscle overuse and inflammation often find shockwave therapy an integral part of their treatment plan. Discuss any concerns with your chiropractor before beginning therapy.
How Shockwave Therapy Can Help You
Patients benefit from shockwave therapy in a number of ways. Targeted shockwaves are known to increase blood flow and stimulate an acute inflammatory response that triggers and supports the body’s natural healing process.
This non-invasive therapy is safe and effective for conditions requiring tissue repair and collagen regrowth, and it has an analgesic effect without the potential side effects associated with common pain medications. After a thorough evaluation, your chiropractor will tailor a treatment program combining shockwave therapy with chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression using the Triton DTS, Class 4 laser therapy, and acupuncture for optimal results.
